Indeed.

Brief -- probably we'll spend 5 minutes on BOSH, 5 minutes on Bayeux, 5
minutes on WebSockets (still looking for someone to give a presentation
about that), and 15 minutes to compare the three and talk about whether

I think we want to provide a very clear overview of what BOSH is, where
it is implemented and deployed, how it is used, etc., plus the kind of
open issues you mention here.
